One of our elders recently failed a church planting assessment.
Why? B/c his "success in ministry numbers" were too low.
I'm grateful for groups that help evaluate aspiring pastors but nothing can replace being affirmed by a local church who actually knows the aspiring pastor.

They also said that since he hadn't started his own business, they questioned his ability to plant a church.
With all due respect, one of the problems in the American church today is that we've valued showy, hip entrepreneurialism over godly, humble faithfulness.

Lord, help us.
He has handled some of our most difficult pastoral cases.
He's discipled men and cared for our youth.
He's cared for struggling couples.
He's visited suffering saints.
He loves his family.
He shares the Gospel.
He pastors my soul and the other elders.
